Although the Masonic rites of initiation
bring men into spiritual bondage to Satan, the grand matron of Theosophy,
Mme. Blavatsky complains that they fall short of the ultimate rites of
passage which were practiced in ancient times.

"There exists at present but one
kind of initiation known to the public, namely that into the Masonic
rites. Masonry, however, has no more secrets to give out or conceal. In
the palmy days of old, the Mysteries, according to the greatest Greek
and Roman philosophers, were the most sacred of all solemnities as well
as the most beneficent, and greatly promoted virtue. The Mysteries
represented the passage from mortal life into finite death, and the
experiences of the disembodied Spirit and Soul in the world of
subjectivity."

In other words, it is not enough that men
have been bound by oaths and baptized into the sun-god, Osiris, but they
must also undergo a near-death, out-of-body experience. In 1891, Madame
Blavatsky was succeeded as head of the Theosophical Society by Annie
Besant, whose influence, according to the author of The Occult Underground
would commence the fulfillment of Blavatsky's dream. James Webb explains:

"Under the direction of Mrs.
Besant and (Charles Leadbeater), the character of the Society began
slowly to change. At first this change was gradual, and consisted in an
amplification of the teachings of Madame Blavatsky… An aspirant after
spiritual glory could apply to one of the Masters to be accepted as a
pupil. In theory it was then a matter of his own efforts to rise through
a series of 'initiations,' each initiation being the gateway to a
higher, or more extensive state of consciousness. As the Masters were
visited in the astral body while the physical body of the chela lay
asleep, it in fact depended on a clairvoyant authority to intimate that
progress had been made." (1)

Annie Besant

The Initiation of Hitler

The writings of Blavatsky, Besant and
Leadbeater were translated and published in German, giving inspiration for
the formation of other Theosophy-based groups in Germany and Austria.
Several of these societies would provide the philosophical framework for
Nazism. One of these was the Thule Society, formed in 1912, whose
prominent leaders included Rudolph Hess and Dietrich Eckart. A famous
member of the Thule Society, Adolf Hitler, underwent a Luciferic
initiation assisted by his spiritual mentor, Dietrich Eckart. In Hitler
And The New Age, author Bob Rosio recorded the words of Meister Eckart:

"I shall have influenced history
more than any other German. Follow Hitler! I have initiated him into the
secret doctrine, opened his centers to vision and given him the means to
communicate with the powers." (2)

Rosio explains this as a Luciferic
initiation:

"He established communication with
Lucifer, from whom he openly coveted possession…entering into the
service of Satan through a Luciferic initiation." (3)

Rosio briefly reviewed the tragic
holocaust of human lives, not only of Jewry but of Hitler's own Aryan
race. Beyond these well-known facts, however, Rosio interpreted for the
reader Hitler's true motive according to the "secret doctrine"
of Satan.

"Robert Cecil said, 'The Blood of
Christ was replaced by the blood of the German war dead.' Their true
value to Hitler was as a sacrifice to the blood-thirsty god he served.
'From the Mayas to the Nazis, the shedding of blood to attract the
attention of indifferent powers was the magic significance of human
sacrifice.' 'He would have sacrificed the happiness of the whole human
race if ordered to do so by the mysterious Force whose commands he
obeyed.' This mentality caused Hitler to say, 'Our losses never seem to
be high enough.' He had realized that Satan's thirst for sacrificial
death was unquenchable. It also explains why Hitler's own bloodlust
increased to a frenzy as the end was in sight.

"Hitler's war in Russia
illustrated his total confidence in the occult powers which owned him
and his willingness to sacrifice human lives. Hitler believed that his
covenant with the occult powers enabled him to control the weather. He
felt that the Russian winter would melt away before him as his forces
invaded Russia. This belief was based on the occult theory of fire and
ice. Hitler would be fire. Russia would be ice. He boldly sent his
armies into Russia with no winter clothes and against the advice of his
general staff. When the German offensive began to falter and young
Germans began to die by the thousands, his generals begged him to order
a retreat. Instead Hitler said 'Attack! As to the cold, I will see to
that.' When the German offensive was halted within sight of Moscow,
Hitler saw it only as a test, requiring more human sacrifice. He saw
Stalingrad, however, as the true test, recognizing Stalingrad as the
sacred city of the ancient Aryans. He felt that no amount of human
suffering or death was too high a price to pay for its conquest, that if
he were faithful to Satan at Stalingrad, he would be given final
victory…" (4)

We should not fail to relate Hitler's
metaphoric view of himself as "fire" to the present Charismatic
"Revival of Fire" and also to the pagan worship of the solar
god. The Theosophical Glossary defines Fire thus:

"(Living). A figure of speech to
denote deity, the 'One' life. A theurgic term, used later by the
Rosicrucians. The symbol of the living fire is the sun, certain of whose
rays develope the fire of life in a diseased body, impart the knowledge
of the future to the sluggish mind, and stimulate to active function
certain psychic and generally dormant faculty in man. The meaning is
very occult."

Exoterically, the nation of Germany was
led to believe that the gods were purifying the human race; esoterically
understood, however, they were beginning the process of annihilating
mankind.

"…the word 'holocaust,' comes
from a third century Greek word 'Holokaustos,' referring to 'the burnt
sacrificial offering of the Jews dedicated exclusively to God.' The
Holocaust was Hitler's fiery offering of human sacrifice to Satan, just
as in the days of the heathen Amorite god, Moloch. The bloodlust of the
coming Anti-christ will continue in the tradition set by Hitler making
Hitler's incredible hate seem moderate in comparison." (5)

The ritual phallic cults throughout
history have also engaged in human sacrifice. The ancient ruins of
Stonehenge in England, revered in occult lore, are eerie monuments to the
Druidic custom of human sacrifice. The noble savages, glorified by Robert
Hicks, are clearly identified with this barbaric Druidic custom. In The
Trojan Horse: How The New Age Movement Infiltrates The Church, Brenda
Scott and Samantha Smith present a very different view of the noble savage
than does Margaret Mead.

"Stuart Piggott, a respected
archaeologist and recognized authority on Celtic history, agrees: ‘It
is hardly realistic to exculpate the Druids from participation, probably
active, in both the beliefs and practices involved in human sacrifice…
The Druids were the wise men of barbarian Celtic society, and Celtic
religion was their religion, with all its crudities. It is sheer
romanticism and a capitulation to the myth of the noble savage to
imagine that they stood by the sacrifices duty bound, but with
disapproval on their faces and elevated thoughts in their
minds.’" (6)

Scott and Smith also associate the Order
of Freemasons and the British Royal Family with the Druid tradition:

"Druid traditions were also
preserved with Freemasonry, which is thought to have evolved from the
Druids or at least alongside of them. This connection is addressed in
Gould's History of Freemasonry. (James Bonwick, Irish Druids and Old
Irish Religions, Salem N.H.: Ayer Co., 1984, p. 71) The three part
structure of the masons is identical to the three offices of druidic
priesthood: Ovates, Bards, and Druids. Also, ‘the secret teachings
embodied therein are practically the same as the mysteries concealed
under the allegories of Blue Lodge masonry.’ (Manly P. Hall, An
Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalist and Rosicrucian
Symbolic Philosophy, Los Angeles: The Philosophical Research Soc., 1977,
XXIII).

"Political and religious
suppression forced the Druids to go underground. Many thought that the
religion had disappeared, but it survived, handed down within families
and villages to resurface again in the early eighteenth century. There
are three main druidic colleges. . .In fact, druidism has become so
accepted socially that Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales both
accepted posts as honorary Druids in the Wales Gorsedd. (Sophie Moore,
The Gnosis Interview). . .By 1988, there were estimated to be over one
million adepts (spiritual masters) and the movement is growing."

Global Initiation

We have seen the ark in the Kabbalist's
sanctuary, not as a type of Jesus Christ, but as the womb of the earth.
Should an obelisk (image of Hermes Trismegistus) be set up in the Holy
Place, in metaphysical wisdom, this would signal the process of initiating
mankind into the deep mysteries of Satan and thereby bring God's judgment
on planet Earth. Of course, the candidates of this global initiation would
be told that a "death experience" precedes resurrection to the
state of Nirvănă or the Sabbath rest. (cf., Heaven's Gate)

New Age mystics past and present have
written books proclaiming that the world is being prepared for a large
scale initiation rite or union with "the Christ." Wendy B.
Howard of Endtime Ministries recently attended the "First Religion
and Cultural Diversity Conference" in Melbourne, Australia. She
reported the attendance of many religious dignitaries of global reputation
who have succumbed to the Gnostic influence of Matthew Fox.

"At Parliament House in Melbourne,
I spoke with two high level priests of the Anglican church, Archbishop
Peter Hollingworth, who is a committee member of the New World Order’s
Commission for the Future, and the Assist. Bishop of Perth, David Murray
- both are avid followers of the New Age ex-Dominican Matthew Fox. Fox
who teaches that there was no Fall, no Redemption, and celebrates earth
worship, adores 'Mother Nature', embraces occultism and believes in mass
murder by the "shrinking" of the population of the earth! Fox
who is a friend of the Luciferian David Spangler who advocates that all
people on earth should undergo the Luciferian initiation!" (8)

"Lucifer works within each of us
to bring us to wholeness, and as we move into a New Age…each of us in
some way is brought to that point which I term the Luciferic Initiation,
the particular doorway through which the individual must pass if he is
to come fully into the presence of his light and wholenesss. Lucifer
prepares man in all ways for the experience of Christhood… The light
that reveals to us the presence of the Christ…comes from Lucifer. He
is the light-giver, he is aptly named the Morning Star because it is his
light that heralds for man the dawn of a great consciousness …He
stands…as the Great Initiator, the one who hands the soul over to the
Christ." (9)

In evangelical circles, Lucifer is
acquiring a new image. Modern bibles now designate Lucifer "the
morning star," replacing his true identity as "son of the
morning" in Isaiah 14:12. The NIV and NASB also dispense with
"day star" in II Peter 1:19, encouraging readers to wait
"…until the day dawn and the morning star arise in your
hearts."

Jay Gary is a dynamic leader in
ministries such as Campus Crusade for Christ, Billy Graham's Lausanne
Committee for Worldwide Evangelization, GCOWE, March For Jesus, and YWAM.
Addressing an Adopt-A-People Consultation in 1994, Gary recommended books
of David Spangler-referring to this Luciferian as "one of the
best." (10)

One speaker at the recent Melbourne
conference actually identified the Masonic orders as the hidden hand
guiding mankind into the church of Lucifer: "One of the long-standing
goals of the Masonic New World Order seems finally within grasp: its
one-world church, in the making for over 150 years, is about to become
institutionalized as the United Religions Organization - the UR."

In The Reappearance of the Christ and the
Masters of Wisdom, Benjamin Crčme stated, "Through the Masonic
initiation and certain esoteric groups will come the process of
initiation. In this coming age millions of people will take the first and
second initiation through these transformed and purified
institutions." (11)

Bob Rosio emphasized that the Holocaust
was a mere dress rehearsal for the Final Solution which will well-nigh
succeed under the rule of Antichrist. The opening performance is scheduled
to begin after Lucifer has been properly summoned to play the leading
role:

"Those who form the core of
occultism in the New Age movement also stress that the New Age they are
promoting will come about through an ongoing invocation of Lucifer. The
stress that all those who enter this New Age will enter it through a
Luciferic initiation, just as Hitler did." (12)

Presently, as we hear of Christian
convocation after convocation calling down "The Fire," we recall
Madame Blavatsky's definition of the very occult meaning of
"fire" as "…a figure of speech to denote deity, the 'One'
life. A theurgic term, used later by the Rosicrucians." Promotional
materials for the "Crown Him" Convocation scheduled in November
1997 boasted of celebrity endorsements such as Israeli leader Moshen
Demian, who, as a "Father" at the Canadian Whistler Gathering,
blew the Shofar trumpet to "consecrate the meeting," the
"new moon," "the seasons," "the Sabbath,"
with the lame excuse:

"…the cults do it, the
unbelievers do it, how much more should the Christians do it.

Even now, Lucifer is regularly invoked by
New Agers and Christians alike, bringing about the revelation of the
Antichrist indwelt by Satan. At the proper time, Lucifer and the Spiritual
Hierarchy will appear:

"The Masters of Wisdom… will
restore upon earth the ancient mysteries and institute again the order
of initiation." (13)

Death ~ The Great
Adventure

Alice Anne Bailey

Chapters 7 and 11 of Daniel, Matthew 24
and the book of Revelation describe multitudes who will be slain for
refusing the mark, number and name of the Beast. Assorted New Agers have
estimated that two to five billion people will be eradicated to purify the
human race. However, in Matthew 24:22, Jesus states that after the
Abomination of Desolation stands in the Holy Place, "Except those
days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved." Hear the modern
hierophants, who reveal how one billion or so "Elect" will
finally enter the New Age:

Alice Bailey, successor to Annie Besant
as president of the Theosophical Society, wrote:

"Man understands meaning when he
identifies with his soul and not his form: then he will deliberately
choose to die." (14)

Richard Kirby of the Society For
Promoting Christian Knowledge wrote:

"Christians know that a man must
die to himself before he can...be born again in spirit. It may well be
that mankind as a whole must be crucified, even unto death, before
coming into its inheritance…Christians can say with Teilhard de
Chardin, that death itself is beneficent, the only way to grow beyond
forms which have served their limited purpose..., but with the serious
and the worried, they look upon the possible extermination of the human
race secure in the knowledge that it could be but a prelude to the
resurrection of the species." (15)

In Esoteric Christianity, Annie Besant
delineated the "Law of Sacrifice" which underwrites the
"hope" that is given to the deluded souls who will literally
"choose to die" at the planned extermination of the human race:

"We can trace in the religions of
the world four great stages of instruction in the Law of Sacrifice.
First, man was taught to sacrifice part of his material possession in
order to gain increased material prosperity…Secondly…instead of
physical prosperity and worldly good, the fruit to be gained by
sacrifice was celestial bliss. The third lesson came when a man, seeing
himself as part of a greater life, was willing to sacrifice himself for
the good of the whole…The hero-soul thus trained was ready for the
fourth lesson; that sacrifice…is to be offered because the Spirit is
not really separate but is part of the divine Life, and…the man pours
himself forth as part of the Life Universal, and in the expression of
that Life he shares the joy of his Lord…"

Those who receive the strong delusion of
their own divinity will be properly initiated so that they may become
"Christs" and saviors of mankind. Richard Kirby, of the Society
for Promoting Christian Knowledge, wrote The Mission of Mysticism in 1979
in order to introduce the Gnostic concept of Christhood to the Church:

"The biggest change which
Christianity needs to make is toward the teaching that all men must be
like Christ, must become Christs in due season, and that the faith must
be built on a personal relationship with the risen Christ." (16)

"Our Lord is calling out a great
host of men ready and willing to become ‘Christs’ in their homes:
Promise Keepers. In grand bold sweeps, God is mustering an army."
(17)

Spiritually aligned with the secret
societies, Promise Keepers is even now preparing men through mass
initiations to join the army of saviors of mankind, the Guardians of a new
Christianity in the coming New Age.

Like Promise Keepers, Annie Besant cloaks
the devouring wolf in sheepskin, by appealing to "the man Jesus"
as the model of literal self-sacrifice:

"An over-mastering conviction, an
imperious voice, calls on him to surrender his very life. If he shrinks
back, he must go on in the life of sensation, the life of the intellect,
the life of the world…

"We have seen how the man Jesus,
the Hebrew disciple, laid down His body in glad surrender that a higher
Life might descend and become embodied in the form. He thus willingly
sacrificed, and how by that act He became a Christ of full stature, to
be the Guardian of Christianity, and to pour out His life into the great
religion founded by the Mighty One with whom the sacrifice had
identified Him…None can become fully a Saviour of men nor sympathize
perfectly with all human suffering, unless he has faced and conquered
pain and fear and death unaided …Into that darkness every Son of Man
goes down, ere he rises triumphant; that bitterest experience is tasted
by every Christ, ere he is 'able to save them to the uttermost' who seek
the Divine through him.

"Such a one has become truly
divine, a Saviour of men, and he takes up the world-work for which all
this has been the preparation... Thus he becomes one of the Peace-centres
of the world, which transmute the forces of combat that would otherwise
crush man. For the Christs of the world are these Peace-centres into
which pour all warring forces, to be changed within them and then poured
out as forces that work for harmony. Part of the sufferings of the
Christ not yet perfect lies in this harmonizing of the discord-making
forces in the world…Those who would prepare to rise to such a life in
the future must begin even now to tread in the lower life the path of
the Shadow of the Cross. Nor should they doubt their power to rise, for
to do so is to doubt the God within them." (18)

The mass suicides of Heaven's Gate and
Jim Jones cults were but miniatures of the outcome of a global Luciferic
initiation. Current testimonies abound of near-death experiences which
invariably describe an encounter with a Being of Light who sends reluctant
souls back to earth to assure others that there is no judgment after
death. New views of death are formed through the corroboration of stories
of a benign Judge and afterlife. Alice Bailey even called Death: The Great
Adventure and comforts future victims of this strong delusion with these
words:

"Our ideas about death have been
erroneous; we have looked upon it as the great and ultimate terror,
whereas in reality it is the great escape… it marks a definite
transition from one state of consciousness into another…This, our
present cycle, is the end of the age, and the next two hundred years
will see the abolition of death, as we now understand that great
transition, and the establishing of the fact of the souls
existence…" (19)
